Today we helped my Aunt Amy, with Tools For School.
T.S.F is a program. where low income families could can and get free backpacks full of school supplies for kids!
Mrs. Hemmer, made the mascot of the day, his name was E.RASER.
Me and Melody H. switched off being the pencil every hour, so neither of us would sweat to death.
Here was a picture of E. RASER with all the sponsors of the program.
Backpacks Backpacks EVERYWHERE! there were a total of 647 kids that signed up, and there was 720 backpacks that were filled. :D
School buses picked the kids and their parents up at Dixon High School, ( the registration place ) and brought them out to Camp Reynoldswood, where the event's were taking place.
Becky was a 'Adam's wrangler' she got to ride on the buses and follow and take care of kids. She was on team purple!!! Jared was a runner, and would bring more backpacks when one station ran out of them. And I...... got to be E. RASER. with Melody as my sidekick. We would switch off, and one of us would wear the costume and get high fives from the kids, and the other one of us would hand out candy to them. :) we had the best job :oP
There were lots of activities for the kids including one of those parachute things. The favorite game with the parachute, was to put a bunch of balls on the parachute, then pull it tight and lift it in the air, than on 3 they'd snap it down and the balls would fly like 30 to 50 feet in the air. It was pretty cool!
Tug of war was pretty fun too. They had a MASSIVE rope to play with. Even helpers got in on it. ( And Aunt Amy the star of the day )
The kids and the backpacks were really cute. here were a couple of kindergartners at the Thank You table. They'd sign their names on picture frames to give to our sponsors later.
This was Melody being E. RASER and she was the smart one. She posed by the Culver's people.
The Culver's people were AWESOME!!!
They gave out Free UNLIMITED custard for everyone. THis was the owner and his daughter, and another helper of his. They worked hard All Day.
It was a good day.
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D D: D: D: D: D: D: D: D:D :D

This is great! My work sponsors a low income school in the city each year and every employee at my work purchases back packs and fills them with the necessary school supplies for each of the students at the school - it is truely amazing!
The custard was oh so yummy!
